The ensuing trial was rife with inconsistencies, false testimony and superstition. Echols was accused of, among other things, practising witchcraft and satanic rituals, a result of the "satanic panic" prevalent in the media at the time. Baldwin and Miskelley were sentenced to life in prison. Echols, deemed the ringleader, was sentenced to death. He was eighteen years old. In a shocking reversal of events, all three were suddenly released in August 2011. This is Damien Echols' story in full: from abuses by prison guards and wardens, to descriptions of inmates and deplorable living conditions, to the incredible reserves of patience, spirituality, and perseverance that kept him alive and sane for nearly two decades. In these pages, Echols describes the terrors he experienced every day and his outrage toward the American justice system, and offers a firsthand account of living on Death Row in heartbreaking, agonizing detail. 000453519 60010 $$aEchols, Damien. 000453519 650_0 $$aDeath row inmates$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000453519 650_0 $$aPrisoners$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000453519 650_0 $$aFalse imprisonment$$zUnited States. 000453519 85200 $$bgen$$hHV8700.E33$$iA3$$i2012 000453519 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:453519$$pGLOBAL_SET 000453519 980__ $$aBIB 000453519 980__ $$aBOOK
